Breaking Homeostasis – Overview

break out of homeostasis is a book written by “Ludvig SUNSTRÖM”, a Swedish citizen living in Stockholm. The book is 350 pages long and explains the idea that most people are stuck in “homeostasis”, a biological process/condition that limits energy levels and ultimately leads to laziness and disinterest.

The premise of the book is the idea that if you are looking to progress in your life, you *need* to address the only something that prevents you from moving forward: the idea of ​​”homeostasis”.

The author explains that instead of being a process tied directly to your cells (which is the basic definition of “homeostasis” in biology), the process can be applied on a macro level, to your brain, thoughts, and habits. in their life. .

More specifically, if you consider the way “modern” life drives you to become passive, submissive, and sedentary, the concept of “homeostasis” extends to the idea of ​​”accepting your fate” regardless of what you really want to do. every day

So looking at what this book promises to help you achieve (specifically, the ability to determine the steps to take to “get your life back”) could be really interesting.

This tutorial will see how it works…

Part 1 – Mastery of the body

The book is divided into two parts (body/mind domain). The first part discusses what is required to achieve mastery of the “body” and the second to achieve mastery of the “mind”.

The body mastery section delves into various topics the author has personally used to achieve optimum body condition, from how to achieve a lean physique to performing the right exercises to build muscles (not big, just strong).

The point of this is to focus on getting people to the point of understanding that their body is a direct reflection of how they are responsible for it. Eating fatty foods, not exercising, wasting time playing video games, and the fringes of other “negative” indulgences that people subject their bodies to is actually pretty absurd.

This part of the book explains that if you want to get ahead in the world, it is essential to maintain a lean physique. You don’t need to be “cast” or anything stupid, just take care of your body to the point where you can use it to get as much energy as possible for the various “projects” you want to accomplish.

Part 2 – Mind Mastery

The second, and most important, part of the book is “mastery of the mind.” This looks at how someone should consider investing in “training”/”developing” their mind, in an effort to achieve success.

Although this part of the book contains a lot of information, the underlying premise is that you are the director of your destiny and your “mind” is the sail that will get you there. Your success is essentially how well you can tune your ship and point it in the right direction.

The “mastery of the mind” part is the largest part of the book, with 7 chapters explaining a number of crucial elements of how the human brain will work (and how it generally tries to trick it into taking the easy route because want to remain in homeostasis).

Information about the Neocortex, amygdala, and other parts of the brain is covered, as well as various points about the “winning effect” being explained. Altogether a very in-depth and well thought out overview of the way the brain works and how to effectively optimize it to work in the modern world.

Part 3 – Annex

The last part explains several key facts about careers and the world of work in the future. While most people would probably overlook this, it’s important to give you the right perspective on what you’re trying to achieve.

The biggest problem in today’s world is passivity; being unable to determine where *you* want to go because of how your mind has limited itself. Building the discipline and ability to progress is by far the most rewarding part of the “journey” of success, as explained in the final pages of the book.
